Health Ministry to form rapid deployment unit to help with supplies


kUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry will be forming a rapid deployment unit to send urgent oxygen supplies and modular ICUs to any states facing a surge in Covid-19 cases in the future, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

This is to ensure the same situation that happened in the past will not recur, whereby states facing a spike in cases did not have enough capacity to treat patients.
